Ukraine, Merz: “Meeting in Berlin? We want to try to involve the US as well”

Heidelberg (Germany), 12 December (LaPresse) – “Monday’s meeting? We are trying to involve the American government. In our discussions, we are also talking to the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian president about the security guarantees we have been discussing for several weeks.” This was stated by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at a joint press conference with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and EPP leader Manfred Weber in Heidelberg, Germany, speaking about Monday’s meeting in Berlin on Ukraine. ‘The most important element is the permanent strengthening of the Ukrainian army. The country itself must be able to protect itself permanently. We are ready to make our contribution in this regard. Contributions from the Americans will also be necessary. The form and details of these contributions will then be integrated into an overall project. Therefore, many questions remain open. They are all the subject of the discussions we are having,’ Merz added.
